Jimmy Choo Maury Velvet & Leather Sandal: Holiday Rock

Thanks to Jimmy Choo, Christmas cheer comes early this year. These super-sexy strappy sandals bring just enough color (thank you, red velvet!) and shine (gold metallic is never a bad thing) to be festive but not so much that they scream jingle bells every time you walk out the door. Deliciously lovely velvet is just right for the season and does me right with comfort, too. Such a sandal is just what I need to create a splash with all of fall’s subdued colors. At Bergdorf Goodman for $995.

Pair with: Assure you hair is equally festive with Dolce & Gabbana’s glass pearl-and-lace hair slide, for just a touch of all-out opulence. On Net-a-Porter for $545.
